Children's Film Festival

Comic-Con International welcomes the San Diego International Children’s Film Festival back Sunday for its 10th big year. This year’s day-long programming of some of the finest short films for children of all ages also officially launches the 13th annual edition of the festival, with more San Diego dates announced soon.

The San Diego International Children’s Film Festival this year presents many new shorts, as well as favorites celebrating the past 13 years of the festival. The festival features creative, exciting, and imaginative short films—and one short feature—from around the world, live action and animation. The films are good for all ages, all day in Convention Center Room 9. Enjoy films from the United States, Canada, Italy, Hungary, Croatia, Japan, Australia, Singapore, Spain, and beyond. Throughout the day, animators and filmmakers will talk about their work, how kids can make their own films, and careers in animation and filmmaking.

All films are shown in Room 9 on the upper level of the Convention Center.

This represents the Comic-Con International 2016 Schedule as of this moment. Please note that this schedule is subject to change. Panelists scheduled to appear at each event are also subject to change. Please check the schedule signs outside each door for updated information.

Seating in all event rooms at Comic-Con is on a first-come, first- served basis. Because of the sheer number of attendees, simply having a badge does not guarantee a seat in programs and events, nor an autograph from a specific celebrity. Please...absolutely no recording of the video footage or images presented by the studios on the screens.
